How are donations to refugees and asylum seekers spent?

Funds raised will allow Red Cross to expand our humanitarian work to help improve the plight of asylum seekers and refugees across Australia including:

Alleviating hardship: Emergency financial relief for asylum seekers and refugees living on little or no income in the Australian community

Support to start life again: Linking people to housing, education and social support programs to assist their transition into Australian communities and reduce social isolation

Community and school education: Volunteer run programs to engage Australians about the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers to help to build a more compassionate society

Upholding dignity and wellbeing in detention: Extra support for monitoring visits to check on the welfare of people in immigration detention centres in Australia, raising humanitarian concerns directly and confidentially with authorities

Reconnecting families: linking families and loved ones separated by migration, war and disaster.

Refugee Asylum Seeker Appeal

Your donation will help Red Cross provide everyday essentials like food, financial relief, vouchers and casework support to refugees, people seeking asylum and other migrants facing significant hardship. It can help people find services they need, and reconnect families who have been separated.
